The Delaware Supreme Court has imposed a one-year suspension on longtime employment attorney Jeffrey K. Martin for allegedly permitting a suspended attorney to practice law in violation of a court order. Although the Office of Disciplinary Counsel had recommended disbarment, the Supreme Court said a one-year ban was sufficient because Martin did not attempt to benefit through his actions.
Martin had hired Herb Feuerhake, who was suspended by the state Supreme Court in 2010, to work as a paralegal. The ODC alleged Martin permitted Feuerhake to practice law in violation of the suspension order, including meeting with clients, appearing in court and “other acts constituting the practice of law.” Martin also shared legal fees with Feuerhake, according to court documents.
